Marion Ala Jan. 14th 1861
Pres[ident] of Virginia Med[ical] College:
Dear Sir:
Your note containing
the amount due for the Lithograph is at hand.
The money seems to be of no value here, but
I will endeavor to use it in some way.
I will as soon as possible remit it to Cincinnatus.
My publication will not be issued until the
political agitations shall terminate in some
way. I am unwilling to increase my liabil
ities at present. If, however there should be
a Southern Confederacy, perhaps, the work
may pay expenses.
We are daily expecting civil war in our midst
and no enterprise can flourish in the South, so
long, as much a calamity threatens us.
Yours Very Respectfully
C.H. Snead
